Indian Summer
Indian summer is a name given to a period of sunny, warm weather in autumn, not long before winter.
Usually occurring after the first frost, Indian summer can be in September, October, or early November in the northern hemisphere, and March, April, or early May in the Southern hemisphere.
It can persist for a few days or extend to a week or more.
We have been experiencing a wonderful Indian Summer, our first frost came on Labor Day weekend giving us the realization that summer was coming to an end. Then the gift was presented a full month of Indian Summer.
Here we are the first day of October, fall colors abound, beautiful perfect weather to enjoy viewing there transformation. Which ever transportation you prefer to get out and experience this once a year occurrence is calling you, I know mine is on the back of a good horse or mule.
A couple of years ago I experience the most majestic of Indian Summer days, it came on the back of a mule. Thousand Lake Mountain was the setting and every color imaginable presented itself in the form of aging leaves. I could hardly breath as my friend Celia and I rode across the mountain side. My heart still holds the memory and the longing to recreate the experience is most strong on beautiful Indian Summer days like today.
Enjoy them there fleeting fast,
Danna
